Unshrinking a woollen underlay???

I bought a woollen underlay yesterday and threw it in the machine in cold water and it went from queen size to single!!!!! Any ideas on if it can be unshrunk? I have heard using vinegar in lukewarm water or conditioner or fullers earth. Has anyone tried anything with success.

I have never heard of someone successfully unshrinking wool. You might be able to stretch it, but that might damage the fabric.
